I had thought it might be possible to come up with a scoring system that reflects how commonly scores appear, so that 2-1, 1-0 and 1-1 predictions would get you 3 pts, 2-0 0-1 and 0-0 would worth 4, 1-2 is then worth 5, 3-1,3-0, 0-2 and 2-2 get 6 pts. I could go on all the way to 3-3 and 4-2 which happen 1% of the time and would get you 9 points and anything above that like 5-0 becomes 10 points.
That might make us gamble more, but it would be more complicated and difficult for Matt.
My only slight quibble at the moment would be that I'm sure a correct score is more than twice as hard to get as a correct outcome, but generally in games and life simplicity is best. (As the hand ball rules have proved.)
